VEHICLE PERFORMANCE OF GASOLINE CONTAINING OXYGENATES

摘要: With the phase-out of lead additives, refiners and fuel blenders are increasingly turning towards use alcohols ethers, i.e. oxygenates, as gasoline blending components. Because they not hydrocarbons behave differently in terms criteria, it is necessary to evaluate oxygenated supplements blend with order define their scope ensure market satisfaction. This paper contains a wide range vehicle performance data on blends. Whilst intention promote supplements, will show that oxygenates can be successfully used components without detriment provided all characteristics fully understood fuels formulated meet existing specifications. In view potential future engine developments, recommendations made concerning areas need further investigation. For covering abstract see IRRD 860841.
